2) Memory corruption
EUVDB-ID: #VU11458
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 1.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-7566
CWE-ID:
CWE-119 - Memory corruption
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local attacker to write arbitrary files on the target system.
The weakness exists due to out-of-bounds write while ALSA sequencer core initializes the event pool on demand by invoking snd_seq_pool_init() when the first write happens and the pool is empty. A local attacker can trigger buffer overflow and use after free and reset the pool size manually via ioctl concurrently and write arbitrary files.

3) Integer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU18813
Risk: Medium
CVSSv4.0: 6.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]
CVE-ID: CVE-2019-11477
CWE-ID:
CWE-190 - Integer overflow
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow when handling TCP Selective Acknowledgments (SACKs) due to incorrect processing of TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->tcp_gso_segs value in Linux kernel. A remote non-authenticated attacker can send specially crafted network traffic to the affected system, trigger integer overflow and render the system unavailable.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform denial of service (DoS) attack.

4) Resource exhaustion
EUVDB-ID: #VU18946
Risk: Medium
CVSSv4.0: 6.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]
CVE-ID: CVE-2019-11478
CWE-ID:
CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to an error when processing TCP Selective Acknowledgment (SACK) sequences within the Linux kernel TCP retransmission queue implementation in tcp_fragment. A remote non-authenticated attacker can send specially crafted network traffic to the affected system and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
